Black Veil Brides and VV have teamed up for a cover of Sisters Of Mercy’s Temple Of Love – listen now.
After teasing it last week, Black Veil Brides and VV have officially shared their cover of Sisters Of Mercy classic Temple Of Love.
Ahead of their North American tour together, BVB frontman Andy Biersack says he’s stoked with their collective cover for fans to enjoy now, and hopes that “anyone who’s familiar with the track enjoys our spin on it and those who have never heard the original enjoy it and maybe this will lead them down the path to the greatness that is SOM”.
“I first discovered Sisters Of Mercy in my freshman year of high school, I had a poster of AFI from The Art Of Drowning era and Davey [Havok] was wearing a SOM shirt and so as was often the case back then I went on the hunt to find the music that had inspired my favourite musicians,” he says. “The very first song I heard by SOM was the ’92 version of Temple of Love and I became obsessed with their entire catalog.
“We’ve talked about doing a BVB version of this song for years and when given the opportunity to collaborate with fellow SOM fan and goth rock icon VV, it seems liked the perfect situation. We are thrilled with how it turned out and hope that anyone who’s familiar with the track enjoys our spin on it and those who have never heard the original enjoy it and maybe this will lead them down the path to the greatness that is SOM like that poster of AFI did for me when I was a kid.”
